This Bay Area band may qualify as the original yacht rock act
Briefly

Pablo Cruise, formed in 1973, claims the title of the original yacht rock band, having originated from their headquarters on an 82-foot schooner. They contributed significantly to the yacht rock genre with notable hits, including 'A Place in the Sun,' 'Love Will Find a Way,' and 'Whatcha Gonna Do?' The current lineup features founding members and showcases a wide range of musical styles, transcending the yacht rock label. They have upcoming performances scheduled in the Bay Area, providing fans with a chance to experience their dynamic live shows.
Pablo Cruise might just be the original yacht rock band. Their headquarters was an 82-foot schooner in the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon, indicating their early association with the yacht rock genre.
Pablo Cruise's yacht-rock short list would definitely include such late-'70s soft-rock triumphs as 'A Place in the Sun,' 'Love Will Find a Way,' and 'Whatcha Gonna Do?' with the latter two being top 10 pop hits.
Pablo Cruise has so much more to offer than just that handful of yacht rock staples. The band thrives in a variety of musical styles, from CSN-style folk-rock tunes to jammed-out instrumental numbers.
Fans can experience all of that - and so much more - during three upcoming Pablo Cruise shows in the Bay Area, highlighting the band's sensational live performance capabilities.
